[Intro]
| Em         | Em         | G          | A          |
| Em         | Em         | A          | C    A     |

[Verse 1]
  Em                      Em
I grew up as your usual suburbanite,
       G                          A
a tiny town in Massachusetts, overwhelmingly white.
  Em                             Em
I went to church on Sundays in a suit and a tie,
G                                  A
  then spent my free time watching Family Guy.
  Em                        Em                     G
I started doing comedy when I was just a sheltered kid,
                  A
I wrote offensive shit, and I said it:
Em                               Em                     A
Father, please forgive me, for I did not realize what I did
            C         A
or that I'd live to regret it.

[Pre-Chorus]
C                           G          Em
Times are changing, and I'm getting old.
              G
Are you gonna hold me accountable?
   Em                   G
My bed is empty and I'm getting cold.
Em                  G                    N.C.
Isn't anybody gonna hold me accountable? Uh

[Chorus]
          Em    Em
I'm problematic   (He's a problem),
A                          A
  when I was seventeen, on Halloween
                 Em     Em
I dressed up as Aladdin   (He's a problem),
A                           N.C.
  I did not darken my skin, but still, it feels weird in [Solo] hindsight.

[Synth Solo]
| Em         | Em         | G          | A          |
| Em         | Em         | A          | C    A     |

[Verse 2]
          Em                            Em
I want to show you how I'm growing as a person, but first
         G                                A
I feel I must address the lyrics from the previous verse.
           Em                            Em
I tried to hide behind my childhood, and that's not okay,
   G                             A
my actions are my own, I won't explain them away.
     Em                            Em                           G
I've done a lot of self-reflecting since I started singing this song,
              A
I was totally wrong when I said it:
Em                               Em                     A
Father, please forgive me, for I did not realize what I did
            C         A
or that I'd live to regret it.

[Pre-Chorus]
C                          G           Em
Times are changing and I'm getting old.
              Em
Are you gonna hold me accountable?
   C                    G
My bed is empty and I'm getting cold.
Em                    Em                   N.C.         N.C.
  Isn't anybody gonna hold me accountable? Uh

[Chorus]
          Em    Em
I'm problematic   (He's a problem)
A                         A
  I just remembered that Aladdin costume's
               Em    Em                 A                       C
in my mother's attic   (He's a problem)   I'm gonna go home and burn it
                   A          N.C.
or not burn it. Is burning it bad? What should I do with it?

[Bridge]
    C                 G
And I've been totally awful,
             D                           Em      G/D
my closet is chock-full of stuff that is vaguely shitty.
C                       G
All of it was perfectly lawful,
              D                          Em     G/D
just not very thoughtful at all and just really shitty.
    C                 G
And I've been totally awful,
             D                           Em      G/D
my closet is chock-full of stuff that is vaguely shitty.
C                       G
All of it was perfectly lawful,
              D                          N.C.
just not very thoughtful at all and just really ...

[Outro]
                       G           Em
And I'm really fucking sorry,
Bm                           Bm
bitch, I'm trying to listen, shit, I’ve been complicit.
G        Em
Sorry,
Bm                     Bm
if I'm gonna catch up, first, I gotta fess up.
G        Em        Bm        Bm
Sorry,
G        Em        Bm        Bm
sorry.
